Desert Garden UCC and AZStRUT (Arizona Students Recycling Used Technology)

18818 N. 128th Avenue, Sun City West

Desert Garden is partnering again with AZStRUT to aid the community in the recycling of used or non- working electronics after collecting 10,064 pounds of electronics in four days in 2025!

The items that will be accepted include, but are not limited to, audio or video equipment, answering systems, cable boxes, cables and wires, digital or film cameras, calculators, computers, cell phones, telephones, copiers, printers, and DVD players. $40.00 will be charged for any CRT (tube TVs) or rear projection TVs donated to help defray costs for recycling safely.

A complete list of items can be found on the website www.azstrut.org, along with the security measures taken to wipe out information on devices.

AZ StRUT was started in 1997 by Intel and Motorola to get used equipment out to Arizona schools and nonprofits. The company works with school programs teaching students about computer repair and refurbishing efforts. In 1998 AZ StRUT received 501(c)(3) status and started providing A+ certification training for the teachers and those programs.

Desert Garden UCC's 2025 Electronic Recycling Event just concluded and it was a successful four days of collecting broken and used electronic devices and cables of all types. We collected 10,064 pounds of electronics that will not end up in a landfill. This was the fourth year for the recycling and over the course of those four years we have collected 53,685 pounds of electronics.

We are grateful to AZ StRUT who has partnered with us in this program and receives all donated items. We want to express our appreciation to Rich and Sheryl Hoyt, Doug and Patty Nordahl, Tim Anderson and Tab Bomhard for being there on days of recycling to help unload donated items. A big thanks to John Houlette for making posters and flyers for the event. All of you made this the success that it was.
